Construction Materials Testing Laboratories
Construction materials testing verifies concrete, steel, aggregate, soil and coating properties against project specifications and building codes, often combining laboratory and field work.
When is it used?
- Project quality control and acceptance
- Structural investigation and repair assessment
- Weld and fabrication verification
- Durability and corrosion assessment
Sample and project requirements
- Sampling and curing conditions are prescribed by the applicable methods.
- Field sampling records must accompany laboratory samples.
Fire reaction, assembly resistance & firestop selection
Window & door air, water and wind method selection
Flat, treated & laminated glass and safety-glazing selection
Acoustic absorption vs airborne & impact isolation
